A 35-year-old woman reported a sexual battery by an unknown man outside her home Monday morning.

According to Athens-Clarke police reports, the woman said she was shopping at the Lexington Road Wal-Mart about 10:30 a.m. when a man began watching her. The woman said she drove home and was approached by the same man in a dark blue car as she stopped to get her mail.

The man got out of his car, asked for her telephone number and when she refused, groped her, she told police. The woman said she screamed and the man got back in his car and left.
